Fifth Anniversary--Just as Wonderful Now!--Peter

As regular followers of this blog already know, I also keep up with things Sox during the offseason. Today is a special place in Red Sox lore. It's the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Sox comeback from three games down to the Yankees (never been done before or since by anyone)to win the ALCS and go on to the World Series, where they ended the Curse in four straight. The final victory over the Stripes was 10-3, Sox. He may have been with the Stripes, but I'll always remember how Joe Torre, the Yanks' manager at the time, took off his cap and saluted the Sox as they won. Very classy.
